The Federal Premium Gold Medal .308 Winchester 175gr Sierra MatchKing BTHP load is match-grade rifle ammunition for shooters who care about repeatable long-range groups (Federal part no. GM308M2). Federal’s Gold Medal rifle loads use an exclusive primer design that the company says gives the best sensitivity and most consistent ballistics in the industry. The Sierra MatchKing bullet is the match bullet Federal describes as shot to win more matches than any other rifle bullet, and it rides in Federal brass with a specially formulated propellant. It is a natural pick for tactical-match and long-range precision work in a .308 Winchester rifle.
